    I just saw that next issue of Gameinformer has it listed for PC. Someone posted scanned images of it. Very exciting.

    [QUOTE]John Marston:
    * Marston is the only character you play as
    * Marston's health recovers
    ** Marston's health is represented by the amount of blood on the screen.
    * There is some customization in Marston's appearance
    ** Various outfits can be unlocked or bought
    ** Marston may be able to get his hair cut
    ** There are accessories that Marston is able to wear for a gameplay benefit
    *** The only confirmed one is a bandanna, which helps Marston evade capture if he commits a crime while wearing one
    * Owns a campsite. This is the saving system
    ** Can set up camp anywhere in the wilderness
    *** Can upgrade the campsite from a simple fire and poking stick to more luxurious conditions, such as a tent
    **** Upgrades can play a part in gameplay.
    * Marston has an inventory
    ** His inventory has at least three categories: Consumables, Kit and Provisions.
    *** His kit seems to be his equipment. What his Consumables and Provisions are is unknown. A guess would be Consumables are things meant to be bought and sold and Provisions are things that he has a finite amount of.
    * Marston controls and feels very similar to Niko, though he moves a little faster and a little more fluidly
    ** In combat scenarios Marston runs at the push of the analog rather than walking as usual.
    * Marston can drink in saloons and bars and can get so drunk he passes out for a few hours
    * Marston can sleep with prostitutes
    * To an extent, weapons and ammunition are represented on the character model.
    * Carries a journal which lists current challenges.
    * Cannot swim. Water kills Marston.

    The World and Everything In It
    * The game map is a large and expansive world
    ** The World is, in total, roughly twice the size of San Andreas [source]
    *** The World is split into three large regions, each larger than GTA IV's Liberty City [source]
    **** Port Elizabeth is the northern-most region, featuring large mountains, forests and snow
    **** New Austin is on the border (on the American side) and features grassy plains
    **** Nuevo Paraiso is in Mexico and is the southern-most region, featuring dry, dusty deserts
    ** There are a variety of settlements and towns
    ** There is a working commerce system
    ** Caves and mine shafts are confirmed
    ** Weather is present.
    *** Rainy weather can form puddles, while exceptionally dry whether can leave the ground dusty
    *** Dust devils occasionally kick up
    ** Crescent moons have been seen, leading to a possibility of moon cycles
    ** There are rivers, lakes, ponds and waterfalls
    ** Full day and night system
    *** One full cycle = 25 minutes
    ** There is an active railroad
    ** Every building is enterable
    *** No load times during transition from exterior to interior or vice versa
    * There is an active ecosystem within the game
    ** There are forty animals in the game
    ** Every animal has its own AI
    *** If a pack animal is alone it might run as you approach, but if you approach a pack they will attack
    ** The predators will hunt the prey, including humans
    ** Vultures will eat the remains of fallen foes
    * NPCs populate the world and behave realistically
    Each NPC follows their own routine and way of a life. For example,
    one spend all day working in a blacksmith, then at closing time head
    off to the saloon for a couple drinks before going home.

    NPCs will converse with each other
    You can converse with NPCs yourself

    NPCs can hold grudges. A man you beat up in the saloon may come back later with a gun.

    NPC houses can be broken into and robbed

    NPCs store possessions in boxes and trunks in their houses.

    NPC towns can be wiped out and made into ghost towns

    Ghost towns will revive in 2-3 in-game days

    In the wilderness rarely a minute passes without seeing some indication of an NPC

    NPCs play an important part of free roaming, through random encounters

    NPCs can be found doing a large assortment of things, from ambushes to gunfights to hostage scenarios to simple things like sitting around a campfire telling stories of Marston's earlier exploits

    Its possible to join a group of NPCs around a campfire and hang out and enjoy a narrative set-piece, but theres also the risk of them being dangerous bandits.

    Allied NPCs are marked with blue markers on the minimap

    Enemy NPCs are marked with red markers on the mini map

    Lawmen are marked with a red or blue marker (depending on your current standing) but with a white star in the middle

    Gangs have their own markers as well, which lets you track them down

    Wiping out a gang has no bearing on your Wanted level

    The corpses of NPCs can be looted

    A wide variety of NPC personalities, including savage cannibals and killers

    NPCs will offer your random missions

    All NPC encounters depend on the time of day, location, your Honor and Fame and what you're wearing

    Indians are present, though not uncivilized.

    Travel
    Marking a way point destination draws a path on the mini map
    There are also arrow signs pointing towards various destinations
    Three main methods of transport: Horseback, stagecoaches and trains
    Passing stagecoaches can be flagged down.
    Stagecoaches and trains allow you to take a nap while going on the destination, allowing you to bypass the trip time.
    Horses have personalities
    Wild horses have to be lassoed, broken and saddled before riding
    If you're unsuccessful at this the horse will buck you and you can get dragged
    Any horse that isn't yours or hasn't been yours for very long will be a little wilder and more difficult to control
    A horse thats unfamiliar to you won't respond to a whistle call. A horse you've spent time with will come to you when you whistle, and will even buck off a thief.
    When dismounting a horse you have to tie it up at a post. If you don't it will continue to follow you.
    Horses have their own health/energy meter, which is Blue and on the Left side of the mini map
    Spurring a horse too much will agitate it enough to buck you
    The horse will automatically jump over any obstacle it can
    Riding a horse in rough terrain is slower than riding on a trail or road
    If you ride too fast in the rough brush it can get agitated and buck you
    Theres also a slim chance it can injure itself and become lame
    No matter where you are, you can summon your trained horse with a whistle
    If your horse dies and you got more than a few minutes without a steed the game will present an opportunity to get one
    From a standstill, turning a horse around takes around 10 seconds.
    Besides train and stagecoach, you can also fast travel from your campsite to any town you have visited.


    Combat:
    Weapons are period accurate
    Gunplay
    Uses cover system similar to GTA IV
    Can snipe while in cover
    Can blind fire while in cover
    Guns are categorized by the following criteria:
    Category, Damage, Fire Rate, Range and Overall Score
    Ammo is based not on the model of weapon but on the category (Shotgun, Revolver, Rifle, etc)
    Guns have limited ammo capacity
    Guns have lower accuracy due to the time period
    Gunplay mimics that of Western movies, including exaggerated

    Side missions:
    * Bounty Hunting
    ** Initiated by tearing a Wanted Poster from the wall

    ** Incapacitate and hog tie a bounty to bring them in alive
    ** Kill them to collect the "Dead" reward
    *** You have to bring in a piece of clothing or evidence from the dead.

    ** Showing a preference for Bounty Hunting missions after Treasure Hunting ones results in the game offering more of them.

    I need to put more time into Fable II before this comes out. No game is pulling me away from this.

    You play Fable 2? I can hook you up with anything in that game, as well as the Dollcatcher achievement. I have a ridiculous inventory of items in Fable 2 and maxed out gold. Let me know.
